    You blokes are what Australian manufacturing is all about...really you people are the Australians of the year keeping old art alive...these certainly showing all Australians what they should be buying...how good are you. Just so great in showing what you do...please keep these videos coming because they are great. Glad you started!

And given your last name is Slevin I'm guessing you'd be Annies brother? And another connection, I was mates with Malcolm Roberts son Jamie.

    50 years ago I would have given anything for one of yours. Much respect to all of you. But, I no longer need an anvil. And if I had the money now, I would not buy one from you. Why? Because an anvil is a tool. Your anvils are excellent, beautiful, functional tools. I would not disrespect the product or work you put into it, just to own it or show it to people.
    If I had the money, I might buy one as a gift, if I knew a person who WOULD use it. Sadly I don't.
    Hats off to you folks, and an excellent video.

      Absolutely. I'm a materials engineer that teaches, so I spend a fair bit of time scrolling the youtubes for the best illustrative clips/channels, and I haven't seen anything better. Thank you so much for getting this type of detail out there for the world to learn from.
      I would absolutely love to see a video with a more complex gating/riser setup, maybe one with a filter installed. With so much of this stuff you can read in a textbook that things like filters/exothermic sprues/keyed cores exist, but videos of them in use is really hard to find. The other thing off the top of my head would be to hear you talk through building whatever alloy you are making in the furnace. There are a ton of videos out there of people hucking stuff into whacking great pots of metal, but actually describing why each component goes in when would be fantastic.
      And my compliments Justin, the learning curve on trying to film molten metal or record sound in a foundry is just absurd, and the progress you have made in just 4 videos is fantastic.
      Can't wait to see the next one.

On a serious note: his anvils are - metallurgically speaking - quite distinct from the mass produced pig iron nightmares China ships in their thousands. If you give your recipe on RUclips, they WILL steal it, then claim they're making 'Aus-standard' anvils for half the price and it detracts from Bob and Jamie's business niche.

    This was great to see the whole process. Chrome Manganese steel is certainly the best way to go. I think you're the only one who actually cares enough to have figured it out. Tungsten bits will certainly be destroyed by this alloy. A simple surface grinder would clean it and work harden it a little. I like the raw finish. Do you have a dual horn model? Cheers!
